Product Description

The LEVITON MFG CO 028-00274-000 is a grounding outlet adapter designed to convert a standard 2-prong ungrounded outlet to accept a 3-prong grounding plug. Rated at 15 amps and 125 volts, this adapter provides a code-compliant path for connecting 3-prong equipment to older 2-prong receptacles without replacing the outlet box. The gray color finish allows it to blend with standard residential and light commercial wall plates. UL listed for safety and compliance.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial applications where existing 2-prong receptacles need to accommodate grounded 3-prong plugs. Typical use cases include older homes with legacy wiring, commercial tenant spaces with aging electrical infrastructure, and temporary service scenarios. Sold in a package quantity of 30 units, making it practical for contractors stocking service vehicles or completing multi-outlet retrofit jobs.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for grounding and receptacle replacement. Before installing or servicing any receptacle, shut off power at the circuit breaker and confirm the circuit is de-energized with a voltage tester. Note that this adapter does not establish a true equipment ground unless the outlet box itself is properly grounded — verify the box grounding status before relying on this adapter for grounded equipment protection.
